“It really is a holy source stone, and on such a large scale!”
Su Ling'er couldn't help but exclaim.
At that moment, even she couldn't help but harbor thoughts of killing and seizing the treasure.
Such a large holy source stone, though it couldn't allow her to perfect her Saint Body to the flawless extent of Chu Ge, it would be no problem to increase her Holy Body Source by several, or even ten times!
This item was enough to make all forces and young talents fight desperately for it!
Although she was innocent and romantic, and usually a bit naive, when it came to her own path, she would be exceptionally serious, and when necessary, she would employ ruthless methods!
“Chu Ge, what do you think? Although you possess a flawless Saint Body, such a holy source stone must be of great use to you, right?”
Su Ling'er's exclamation and the envy of the other Disciples made Ye Chen feel incredibly comfortable, finally regaining some face in front of Chu Ge.
As for the consequences of revealing such a precious treasure, he had also considered them.
In the short term, at least before the Grand Competition, there wouldn't be any major issues.
He had no plans to go out during the remaining month.
A force like Taihuang Holy Land wouldn't be so shameless as to snatch a precious treasure from its own Disciple.
Moreover, this item had already been used for a bet with Chu Ge. If someone secretly tried to snatch it, it would surely provoke Luo Huangjun, who was behind Chu Ge, and the consequences were not something anyone could bear.
As for what happened afterward, he couldn't care less.
If he lost, all would be over.
If he won, he would be a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss!
“Junior Brother Ye Chen is truly blessed with deep fortune, which truly makes this Senior Brother envious.”
“I accept this bet.”
Chu Ge didn't hesitate and immediately agreed.
“It's a deal!”
Ye Chen responded in a deep voice, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
For the next month, he would put in a thousand times more effort to improve himself.
The thought of personally defeating Chu Ge, the high and mighty Holy Lord's direct Disciple, on the arena in the future made him tremble with excitement!
‘Chu Ge, you are destined to be defeated by me! Just wait, that day will come soon, and everything that belongs to me, I will eventually reclaim!’
“Since that's the case, then I'll trouble Junior Brother Ye Chen to kindly keep this holy source stone for Senior Brother for the next month.”
“If it's accidentally lost, the consequences could be quite unbearable.”
Chu Ge's face wore a smile, exceptionally gentle, but his words were extremely arrogant.
He lightly patted Ye Chen's shoulder.
“Junior Brother Ye Chen can bring out such a treasure to offer to Senior Brother, Senior Brother is very happy, but Junior Brother's attitude makes Senior Brother quite displeased.”
“Remember, I am the Holy Lord's direct Disciple, and you are from the Inner Sect. Outside, you must pay attention to seniority and not disrupt the hierarchy. Next time, remember to address me as Senior Brother!”
The two brushed past each other, Chu Ge's words clearly entering Ye Chen's ears, causing his face to instantly darken.
Before he could react, a powerful Aura surged towards him.
Ye Chen lost his footing and instantly his knees went weak!
With a “thump,” Ye Chen knelt directly to the ground without any resistance!
“Crack!”
The stone slabs on the ground cracked under the force of his kneeling, emitting crunching sounds of fissures!
With his head held high, Chu Ge and the beautiful woman gracefully departed together.
Leaving behind only Ye Chen, whose knees were bleeding from the impact.
‘Chu Ge! Chu Ge! Chu Ge! He, he actually insulted me again and again!’
Ye Chen roared madly in his heart!
This was an insult from Chu Ge towards him, a double blow of words and physical force.
‘Why has this bastard become so strong?! Just by his Aura, he can make me unable to resist!’
‘Can I really win against him in the Grand Competition a month from now?’
Filled with immense humiliation, Ye Chen's hatred and killing intent towards Chu Ge had already surged to their peak!
But even at this point of near loss of control, he still couldn't help but feel a hint of fear towards Chu Ge.
Last time, under the impact of Chu Ge's Holy Body Source, he was like a lone boat on the sea, unable to resist.
This time, under the impact of Chu Ge's Aura, he was equally unable to resist!
The fighting spirit that had just recently sprouted in Ye Chen's heart now dissipated to almost nothing.
The shadow of Chu Ge, which had not yet completely dispersed and still enveloped him, deepened even further.
‘This is bad...’
The entity in his mind sighed softly.
That young man named Chu Ge truly killed without a trace.
Just a few words and an Aura suppression had completely ravaged Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was already extremely wary of Chu Ge; now, this wariness had turned into fear, becoming his inner demon.
Chu Ge became an obstacle that Ye Chen had to overcome.
Of course, it wasn't all bad.
If he couldn't overcome it, there was no need to say more; he would forever live in the other party's shadow, with no chance of a comeback.
If he could overcome it, Ye Chen could use this to complete an inner and outer transformation and sublimation, with benefits too great to imagine!
But, was this obstacle named Chu Ge really that easy to overcome?
.......................
“Ding, the Child of Destiny has developed fear towards the Host, giving rise to an inner demon. The Host has gained 15,000 Villain Points.”
The System's notification sound, as expected by Chu Ge, rang out at the opportune moment.
Looking back at the previous notification sounds.
‘3000, 5000, 7000, plus this 15000, that’s a total of 30,000 Villain Points in the account. Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, you truly are a high-quality leek.’
‘This isn't enough yet, the Child of Destiny can't fall so easily...’
With 30,000 Villain Points in his account, Chu Ge was naturally in a good mood.
The various verbal suppressions and Aura suppressions earlier were not done on a whim.
If he hadn't encountered Ye Chen, then so be it, but since he coincidentally did, harvesting a wave of leeks was naturally a convenient thing.
A Child of Destiny at Ye Chen's stage was precisely when his destiny was flourishing and he was preparing to soar.
He was in a period of rapid growth, but not yet mature.
If he were too young, still in the novice village, naturally not much oil could be squeezed out.
If he were too mature, he wouldn't be someone Chu Ge could easily suppress at present.
Ye Chen at this time was just right: juicy enough, easy to deal with, belonging to an extremely high-quality type.
Now Chu Ge was even a little worried if Ye Chen would be disheartened, after all, he had only encountered Ye Chen, one Child of Destiny, so far.
Seeing Chu Ge's smiling face, looking very pleased, Su Ling'er extended her jade finger and gently poked Chu Ge's arm.
“Hm?”
Chu Ge turned to look at Su Ling'er.
“Junior Brother, are you absolutely confident? After all, this Ye Chen is... *cough cough*!”
Su Ling'er slipped up for a moment, almost blurting out the term Child of Destiny, but thankfully she stopped herself at the crucial moment.
“He is what?”
Chu Ge asked, puzzled.
“He is... he possesses the Wang Body! He embarked on the path of cultivation before even entering the sect, and his combat experience is much richer than yours!”
Su Ling'er's little mind raced, she didn't want Chu Ge to discover any clues.
“Don't worry, Shijie.”
Chu Ge didn't state how confident he was, but the intense confidence flowing in his sharp eyes made Su Ling'er tremble.
She couldn't help but recall Chu Ge's demeanor during his verbal confrontation with Ye Chen earlier—strategizing, effortlessly suppressing Ye Chen, the Child of Destiny, truly astonishing.
As she thought about it, she became momentarily lost in thought.
“Shijie? Shijie?”
Hearing the call, Su Ling'er snapped back to reality. She looked up and saw Chu Ge had already walked ahead of her.
Their eyes met, and the smile on Chu Ge's face was like a gentle breeze, causing Su Ling'er's heart to inexplicably skip a beat.
“What are you thinking about? We should head back.”
Chu Ge's gentle words reached her ears.
“Oh, oh, I'm... I'm coming!”
She hastily lowered her head and jogged to catch up, continuing to walk side by side with Chu Ge.
Only her slightly flushed earlobes beneath her hair still spoke of her restless emotions at that moment.
